NFT: Pittsburgh Penguins @ New York Rangers Game Thread

I'd love to see some kind of fight. Some kind of desperation. And FFS, it'd be nice if Sindy didn't skate circles around Zibanejad.

… this is like watching a 7 game series giants vs cowboys and getting embarrassed over and over….

.

Comeback starts tonight
Link - ( New Window )

simple as that. Show some pride BLUE!!!!

Brett is allowed to start game threads.

seriously though, I still believe the Rangers win this series.

Time to get off our asses! Match the 4th line against Crosby and start hitting these guys please.

My restraining order doesn't mention it.

but I have full faith the Rangers win this series.

the Hurricanes signing Tony DeAngelo to a 1M deal and the Blues trading a garbage bag for Pavel Buchnevich.

DeAngelo: 8 points in 5 playoff games
Buchnevich - 4 points in 5 playoff games

Yet they couldn't even make the playoffs when they were on the same team. It's weird.

JT Miller and Zucc had career highs for points (both by a lot) if you want to revisit more former Rangers.

I was really surprised the Rangers didn't look to re-acquire Miller. he'd be a perfect fit as 2C or even 1C.

54% on the dots, 100 points, not afraid to hit, has leadership qualities.

take home 3 stars of the game with one of them being Igor and take this fucker back to Pitt for a game 6. One game. Tonight. Get it the fuck done.

and fuck us like he did the last two games. Might as well let him take the fall and end this crap.

Good season though.

Brett led us to a comeback against Pittsburgh after you losers fell to 3-1 back in 2014 and I'll do it again.

It would leave a really bad lasting impression for this season if they go out without a fight tonight. Win this game and show some pride. I can accept a first round loss. But the effort last game was simply unacceptable.

We'll win tonight.

I thought they did but either the asking price was too high or Vancouver wasn't willing to move him since they had a nice run under Boudreau.

but I think we are shot. We seemed lost and I have no reason to believe it will change just because it is two days later and we switched ice. The last 5 of 6 periods has been disgraceful (maybe 4 of 6 as period 1 in game 4 wasn't that bad).

You are correct Essex, but IMO the gap is effort which maybe makes it worse, not sure. But I strongly believe NYR are a better team, and I believe effort is easier to fix than talent. Which is why I still believe the Rangers win the series.

we you start seeing so many goals being deflected in front for goals it tells you that you are not selling out enough to win these games. These are playoff games you have to fight not give up goals. No one cares how many time you beat this team in the regular season, you need to win every period tonight. If they do not want to do what it takes to win they will get what they deserve. Get it back to Pittsburgh and who knows what happens. One period at a time.

We're all in bed happy by 10 as God intended.

You have to be fucking joking with this shit.

Tries to end it early.

might as well be killing a two man advantage.

Fucking hell. Not what ya want. The slash on Crosby was a bad call.

To knock out that 2 man adv.

Early boost hopefully.

Is scratched in favor of Braun per Mercogliano.

Just kidding they are running with 7 D.

Power plays we win.

Of course

Just par for the course in this nightmare of a series.

God forbid he actually hits someone in a playoff game

Fucker!!!

area. People who drive players out of the middle and to the boards
Give me players who will care

We’re throwing the body great for five minutes …. Then stopped. Win or lose The penguins need to limp home.

This defense is atrocious right now. Standing, chasing, no positional discipline. Miller looked like he was on a string during that goal sequence

Is paid too much to let that happen.

and they aren’t testing Domingues at all. Every shot is from awkward angles and makes for such an easy save.

that I can remember.

visible so far

Let alone a breakaway...this series for NY? Only one I can think of is the shorty. You have to hand it to Pitt. They're completely shutting them down.

About Jake cuntsel

where’s Craig MacTavish when ya need him.

And they still give up a shit goal.

The offensive structure is nowhere to be found.

No one crashing the net, no bodies in front.

The rest of the team is just going through the motions

Not getting into the slot to shoot. Don't they remember how that worked for the Penns last time around?
